Candidiasis

Overview

A large number of the population in the USA is infected to a greater or lesser extent by the overgrowth of this fungus, Candidiasis, commonly referred to as a yeast infection. This is due to the varied causes that may facilitate the overgrowth of the fungus.

Possible Causes of Candidiasis

This situation has evolved in the last few decades due to the ubiquitous use of high fructose corn syrup, the introduction of birth control pills, the excessive use of antibiotics, steroid usage, underlying heavy metal stress, i.e. mercury from amalgam fillings, the ingestion of large amounts of preservatives in our foods today, the chronic use of alcohol and tobacco, and the excessive use of refined carbohydrates and sugars in our diets. The ingestion of large amounts of dairy products and milk (lactose facilitates candida growth)is another important causative agent. The condition, due to its varied clinical manifestations, may be mis- or under diagnosed.

Symptoms

Management

The Houston Wellness Clinic is extremely sensitive to the existence of Candidiasis and manages it aggressively. Being aware of how it may mimic other conditions such as Chronic Fatigue Syndrome, Fibromyalgia, depression, insomnia, eczema with varied skin rashes, and gastro-intestinal disturbances such as diarrhea and constipation, we take great efforts in both recognizing and reducing this condition in our patients.

The doctor first sits with the patients and confirms the diagnosis through various tests and medical/lifestyle records. The center then takes a multifaceted approach to managing the condition, which includes eliminating and avoiding any possible causative agents, applying nutritional therapy, administering anti-fungal interactive supplementation, detoxifying the liver, supporting the digestive tract, and employing aggressive intravenous therapies that rapidly destroy the Candida fungus as well as associated parasitic infestations which may occur alongside the fungal infection. Our intravenous therapies consist of intravenous hydrogen peroxide and anti-fungal supplemental intravenous administration.

Our specialist realizes each patient is different; therefore, the symptoms and management most likely will be as well. Once a management plan has been established, the doctor explains it in detail to each patient so they have a thorough understanding of how they will eliminate the Candidiasis.

Dear Dr. Allibone, I would like to take the opportunity to sincerely thank you for helping me resolve my elevated blood pressure without resorting to being tied to drugs for the rest of my life. Yesterday I had a blood pressure reading of 115/79.....I can't thank you enough!

- Gordon Baltzer (High Blood Pressure)

When I first came to Houston Wellness Clinic, I was a year past my breast cancer diagnosis. I was looking for someone to who would care about my overall health and not just my cancer. I found Dr. Allibone through a recommendation from one of the eight doctors I was working with at the time. She explained the vast managements HWC offered and how each might help. She was right. When I first started, my hormones were imbalanced, I had tachycardia due to anemia from heavy periods, I was high in heavy metals, and was deficient in many vitamins. I was not in good shape. We began working on each issue and I began to see improvements quickly. Dr. Allibone put me on bioidentical progesterone to balance my hormones and regulate my cycle. This not only helped my energy, acne, and moods, but also helped with my anemia by shortening the amount of blood I was losing during my cycle. He also tweaked my vitamin regiment. I am now on high quality supplements that not only help me fight cancer but also fights the source of my cancer a hormonal imbalance. Also, we started to rid my body of heavy metals through supplements and chelation. Needless to say, I feel like a new person. Slowly, my list of eight doctors began to dwindle down to two, Dr. Allibone and my oncologist. I have full trust in HWC. I am very thankful to have found them.

Approximately, one year ago I broke my wrist. The Orthopedic surgeon advised me to get a plate and screws to internally stabilize the fracture as I had some underlying osteoporosis. I undertook aggressive intravenous therapy with bone restoration supplements. Within two weeks my fracture had healed. The orthopedic surgeon was so impressed, that he felt that there was no need for operative stabilization of my fractures. To this day I get IV bone restoration together with bio-identical hormone replacement from Houston Wellness Clinic to prevent osteoporosis developing. I am so grateful that I have been exposed to the healing modalities available to me at Houston Wellness with supplements, vitamins, minerals, and hormones that have none of the severe side-effects associated with some prescription medicines.

For years I have been on prescription medication for several medical issues ranging from depression to allergies. As the list of medications grew, so did the side effects and more prescriptions were prescribed to counteract those side effects. It seemed like a never ending cycle. After meeting with Dr. Allibone, he came up with a management plan including diet, supplements, hormones and IV managements that has me off nearly all my medications and is actually fixing the issues, not just masking them with drugs. What has truly impressed me with Dr. Allibone is that he sits with me and discusses my management, he listens to me and my symptoms and we work together as a team to get my health to where it should be. Dr. Allibone has changed my life.

I started the HCG diet in mid March 2011 at a starting weight of 323 lbs. I had concerns about the low calorie intake but knew I needed something to kick start a healthier lifestyle. The first 10 days were not very difficult at all and I dropped 11 lbs. The next thirty days of the diet only got easier. I had days when I would have to remember to eat. My hunger just went away completely. I completed the diet at a weight of 289 lbs for a total loss of 34 lbs. I have been off the diet for 4 weeks now and with the help of Dr. Allibone I have lost another 10 lbs. I have done all kinds of diets: Atkins, Weight Watchers, and Slim Fast and not one has given me the results that Dr. Allibone has given me. I could not be happier with my results and the help that Dr. Allibone has given me.

I started seeing Dr. Allibone about five months ago, for severe allergies, swelling in the faces, joint pain, and fatigue. I had a constant sinus infection for 23 years since I moved to Texas. With the Iv therapy, change in diet, and vitamins I have made steady progress. It has taken a lot of hard work from myself and Dr. Allibone, but we have turned the corner.

I have had great difficulty losing weight all my adult life. No doctor whether internist or endocrinologist ever could solve this issue. Within a short space time Houston Wellness Clinic discovered I had Reverse T3 syndrome. I am extremely excited about my new thyroid medication that is restoring me to normal thyroid function.

What do you say about the person who has given you your life back? It's a priceless gift. Lyme and it's co infections rip away and destroy every detail of your life including who you are. Nineteen years, over thirty specialists, years in the bed, and over twelve surgeries later, my journey finally lead me to Dr. Allibone.
Dr. A is extremely knowledgeable. He cares and treats his patients when all others can't, and/or have given up. There is no challenge he won't face and seek the answers to. I did not know what normal felt like. I now know life without pain and it is beautiful. I will put my life and my families lives in his hands if it's ever needed again. I look forward to living the rest of my life healthy and lyme free. Thank you Dr. Allibone.

Dear Dr.Allibone, I had my second hip transplant on Oct 4. Both the surgeon and his physician's assistant were shocked at the quality of the bone in the second hip and told me because of it the surgery took only 1/2 of the time. I think my thanks to you is in high orders. See card...

I was diagnosed 2 years ago with highly malignant tumor of the brain, 95% of my tumor was removed surgically. I then ambarked on a course of anti-cancer therapy advocated by Dr. Allibone. At present it appears there is no return, or increase in size of the residual tumor. In my opinion, if I followed conventional therapy advocated by the cancer specialist in the UK and USA, I believe I would have had the same results as Mr. Ballesteros.

Dear George
Seldom in my life, have I ever been at a loss for how to express my thoughts period. However, I find myself wanting to say grateful, appreciative, indebted, fortunate, and just plain lucky, as if they were one word. My debilitating symptoms were not recognized by 5 very well regarded specialist in their fields, and then I found myself in your office. After just 10 days, I've actually gotten a life back, that doesn't have me needing to lie down for even 5 minutes. The past many months had me lying down for hours everyday. Enough about me, as I prefer to talk about you, and how much you mean to both Herb and I. Thank you for your dedication to what you do and for your caring for me!
Sincerely
Arlyne
